La Boheme - orchestra seats

So I decided to rush for the city and watch "La Boheme", with Anna Netrebko as mimi... Though I did not reserve or purchase any tickets, hoping that I would be able to get stand up ticket in the family circle section (I did call the booth to make sure there were tickets available), but the show was sold out... and there were no ticket's left.  On my way out, I heard some people trying to sell their tickets, so I approached them... They asked me how much I was willing to pay, and they told me that their tickets were for $170.00 and $155.00, and I said I was willing to pay as much as $40.00... I got the $155.00... orchestra seat - a very good seat.



One thing I have noticed is that the sound is not as good from the orchestra seats, you can see the stage very well, but the sound is not as good as from the family section, and I have also noticed that in the orchestra section, people make lots of noise and they talk a lot - that was very disappointing.  Despite all the minor troubles, the performance was magnificent.
